  1. There is a Cillineac in Cahirkeem. A Cillineac is a place where children under seven years are buried. It is thought that there was an old Church there long ago. There were a great many old people buried in the Cillineac in the olden times as well as children. There were not any grave yards long ago. There is a small stone put standing near every little grave and there are still to be seen.
